ageLOC Future Serum is the newest and most advanced product in the Nu Skin Anti-Aging Skin Care Line. This incredible new serum has the highest concentration of ageLOC in any Nu Skin formula and gives your skin the benefit of the proprietary ageLOC ingredient on a daily basis. This is the ingredient that attacks the genetically inherited aging enzyme called arNOX (arSuperMarkers for aging).

ageLOC has been the proprietary anti-aging ingredient in the facial gels used during the Galvanic Home Spa Treatment.

ageLOC Future Serum is a daily anti-aging treatment but is also a complement to twice weekly Galvanic Facial treatments containing ageLOC. Future Serum will promote youthful skin structure by stimulating natural collagen production while decreasing the production of MMP (enzymes that degrade skin structure).

Use of Future Serum will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, create a  smoother surface texture, even out your skin tone and increase radiance (Oh Yes! I want all of that! You want that?). And with the ability of skin penetrating peptides you are also treating the symptoms of aging taking place in the deeper layers of your skin, that deep secret place (fibroblasts) where collagen and elastin are produced.

Maybe you already know what Galvanic is but for those of you who don’t, its pure magic. No kidding! Nothing else can give you the result of Galvanic without shots, pain or invasive procedure.

Galvanic is  electric current that is applied to the skin.  Galvanic works on the principle of like charges repelling each other. A product that contains a negative ion will be pushed into the skin by a negative electric current. And a positively charged product will be pushed into the skin by a positive current.

Galvanic also has the ability to stimulate the circulation of oxygen and blood in the facial skin supplying an elevated level of nourishment. Skin care specialists have been using Galvanic for over 50 years in facial services. Galvanic also creates an environment in the skin that allows for an incredible  increase in the  efficacy of the skin care products you use after the treatment Neat, huh? Keep reading…  Plus I’ve got some  videos that demonstrate how to use it. Read the rest of this entry »

We all want effective anti-aging skin care, and we all want the best value for our money. ageLOC  Elements, Future Serum and Transformation System is a new Product Launch by Nu Skin that is, finally available to the public. ageLOC addresses aging at it’s source, deep in the layers of your skin. ageLOC has been the proprietary ingredient in the facial gels used with the Galvanic Home Spa. ageLOC effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These new products can be  used  instead of the Galvanic Home Spa, or as a compliment to it. However the electric current emitted by the Galvanic Home Spa does stimulate the skin to lift and tighten to promote a more youthful contour to the face.

Below is a chart showing the cost comparisons of several of the other leading Anti-Aging Skin Care products available. The difference, other than cost, is in the proprietary ingredient blend in ageLOC that is designed to attack aging at it’s source by targeting the actual gene clusters that cause aging of the skin. No other product contains this patented ingredient.

I want to share with you the best AHA and BHA exfoliating product I have found. I have tried just about every way there is to exfoliate my skin, different scrubs, microdermabrasion,  a mask/masque with papaya enzymes, another containing pomegranate and one that peels off after setting up on the skin.

They were all OK. And even though I have performed many microdermabrasion services, I never really liked it for my own skin. Plus, I am always wanting something quick and easy. What I finally found was perfect. Paula’s Choice Exfoliating AHA and BHA Gels. I use them at night right after cleansing and then layer my serum and night moisturizer on top. Quick, easy and very effective!

Paula’s Choice makes a number of products that I really love and use along with my ageLOC Galvanic Home Spa.

As I mentioned in a previous post AHA is best suited for dryer or mature skin, that’s me. It will exfoliate and impart a new radiance to the skin with regular use. I use the gel version in an 8% strength and my skin handles that percentage well with no redness or flaking. It absorbs right into my skin and I can apply any other products over it including makeup.

I do have a bit of oiliness on my nose so I chose to use a BHA there and on my forehead as well which tends to be slightly oily on occasion. BHA cleans inside the pore as well as exfoliating the surface skin. Very good for blemish prone and/or oily skin. Again, I use the gel, in a 2% concentration. This is the higher of the concentrations offered but my skin tolerates it well. I may switch to a lotion or lower concentration if I experience unwanted dryness or irritation over winter.

Now, I am telling you about these products because I have used them and feel that they are the best formulations I have found to date for AHA and BHA. The Paula’s Choice website offers extensive information that can be mind boggling! Tons of reviews. I have no idea how the site keeps up with it all! But they do and there is a lot of great info.

So, check it out if you need a really good AHA or BHA (and by the way we ALL do). Paula’s Choice Best Sellers

A testimonial from Diana D! I posted her photo earlier on her treatment, but here is her actual testimonial! She mentions “photos”, I have only the one but it speaks for itself!

“I was on contract with the company to participate in the TFEU 90 day clinical study. I began around the first of September and ended the trial at the end of November.

These photos were taken December 12th. I used specific products from the System (face wash, mist, and the spf 15 moisturizer) on both sides of my face.

On the right side of my face, I used the direct wave spa twice a week and the TFEU morning and night. While the disappearance of the wrinkles was really exciting what I was most thrilled about was the fact that my skin feels twice
as thick on the treated side.

I love putting my makeup on that side of my face! I am 52 and the one side of my face reminds me of how my skin looked in my 30’s.

From a scientific standpoint …my skin was undergoing
a transformative process call remodeling. To best understand this, think
about a bridge with all the supporting struts that collapsed.

The TFEU stimulated my skin to start producing elastin and collagen again. This made the structural support of my skin come back.

The result was that many of the smaller scars and depressions from acne on my chin had diminished or disappeared. The first skin to show the real difference was around the eyes- and that took a full 2.5 weeks. The rest of my face seemed to start to firm up between the 3rd and 4th week.”
